Posting on Frank Hughes by Karen Russell, 9/2004
To:Karen Russell, Re:Your posting of September 2004 about
Frank and Philip Hughes.
I never saw your posting (having not been to the Hughes site
in almost two years) until yesterday, 6/28/06. I would like
very much for us to be in touch.I have a short family history of sorts compiled by my grandmother, Rose Hughes Donahoe (Frank's daughter, who was born in Battle Creek, NE).
I could send you a copy to see what you can make of it.
My aunt said we are related to Abp. John Hughes of New York,
but didn't say how. There is a book by Shaw, "Dagger John: The
Life and Unquiet Times of Abp. John Hughes"--or a similar sub-
title.I'm getting a copy and hopeto find out where in
Ireland he was from.Maybe the Catholic Encyclopedia? Perhaps
Philip and Frank were from the same area. Please e-mail me.
